List of segments that are allowed to be varied within a mission optimization.

Provides a list of segments having variable conditions within the segmentBlock.

Example: a segmentBlock containing takeOff, climb, cruise, decent, landing segments has a cruise segment for which the range is variable. The range of this segment is then to be calculated using the range defined for the segmentBlock while concerning the known ranges of all other segments within the segmentBlock.

This concept needs to be practically tested. Does it suffice to mention (a list of) segments that are free to change to fit the overall block constraints? What happens if a segment is variable, though it has some constraints? When to define a segment as variable (climb until endPosition z, then endPosition x should be left free. Is the segment then variable? Probably not.). Somehow the 'free' segment should be in between fully defined segments (i.e.: a cruise+descent in between endPosition z == ICA and endPosition z == 0 for landing to define max range. How to define this exactly?)
